Cabins at Stony Ridge

We just returned from staying at the ruby cabin for 6 days with our 8 year old son. The cabin is beautifully decorated with amazing views. I loved the covered porch with surround sound and the hottub. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were super soft. I also loved the shades that you simply pull down to cover all the windows at night. It really was peaceful and just the getaway we needed from the city.
However, for the price I expected much more because I have never paid this much for a cabin that didn’t include everything we needed for our stay. It also could have been a little cleaner for my liking when we arrived.
First, they only provided 3 dinner plates, 4 small plates and 4 bowls along with 4 forks, 4 knives and 4 spoons. This would be OK if there were two of us and we were only staying one night, but they knew there were 3 of us and we were staying 5 nights. If you allow that many people for that amount of time, then you should provide enough of everything they will need during their stay. I mean who doesn’t at least have an 8 piece setting? Also, while there are pots and pans, they are the cheap metal kind that everything sticks to, so basically useless. And don’t count on using the oven because they only provide 1 glass 9×14 pan, so bring your own pans if you want more than a casserole or microwave dinners. There is the grill but its small.
Also, the seating in the living room is not very comfortable and really only accommodates two. There is the patio, but again there is only setting for two. And it does get chilly on the patio in the evenings and unfortunately only 1 throw blanket was provided.
We had to drive 40 minutes away to the nearest Walmart to get all these basic items that weren’t included and that was frustrating. I would have simply brought my own items if I had known.
If you are looking to only stay one or two nights with your significant other and you don’t plan on making your own meals, then this place is great, but for a family who likes to cook who prefers comfort over looks, then I would look elsewhere. For that reason, I am only giving 4 stars.

We stayed at one of these cabins over a short weekend. We were only going to stay one night … but, we absolutely LOVED IT!!! And drove back to the cabins instead of staying the next night in Austin. This place is heavenly. To begin with, it is a gorgeous setting ~ quiet, calming, lovely views from the porch. Next, the interior is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and appointed ~ nothing left to chance from the dishes to the wifi & TV. These cabins are elegant, more high end than some expensive hotels. And, yet, they are rustic ~ fantastic reconditioned barn wood ceilings, gorgeous stone bathrooms (with shower large enough for two;), giant full cabin length deck. I felt very pampered by the comfy king bed (super delicious sheets!) and the outdoor jacuzzi (easy to use). Another plus is that the owners are great. Easy to deal with and so willing to help. We LOVED our stay and are looking forward to staying again.
If you get the chance, stay at Stony Ridge. You will be enchanted too!!!
